Poached eggs and the Publick House

Eggs Benedict used to creep me out when I was younger - until I ate it. Poached eggs are glorious. And I finally made some for breakfast last week. It was a bit daunting but thankfully YouTube is always there in my time of need.

After watching a few short videos I was in the kitchen simmering some water and crackin' some huevos.

I toasted some wheat bread, threw a couple slices of cheese (because who doesn't like cheese with their eggs?) and BAM! Breakfast was done. Sprinkled with some salt, pepper and dill I was a happy camper.
The yolk was nice and stiff around the edges and runny in the middle. The sunny yolk leaked out of the egg and drenched my toast in deliciousness. It was rich, creamy, buttery and so satisfying since I actually didn't mess them up.

Feast your eyes on my beautiful eggs.


On another note, last Saturday the boyfriend and I went to dinner at a restaurant we've been going to since the beginning of our relationship. I always like going there because its a nice little spot on a busy corner in Mountainside and it satisfies my need for "fancy." Plus, I've never met a dish I didn't like there.

We shared the truffle Mac and cheese as an appetizer and we both ordered the hanger steak as an entree.

The steak was like butter. It was by far the tenderest piece of beef I've had in a long time. I'm never disappointed at Publick House. The steaks were served on a bed of roasted potatoes and broccoli rabe which were equally delicious.

For dessert I always get the homemade shortcake with seasonal fruit and fresh whipped cream an the boyfriend got his favorite, bread pudding. I personally have never been a fan of the stuff, but he loves it.

I never have a bad time at Publick House, their appetizers and entrees are fantastic and I love knowing that it's a scratch kitchen.

I'm pretty sure that I will continue to go there for years to come.
